Sewar

Sewar is a python package for image quality assessment using different metrics. You can check documentation here.

Implemented metrics

• Mean Squared Error (MSE)
• Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE)
• Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) [1]
• Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) [1]
• Universal Quality Image Index (UQI) [2]
• Multi-scale Structural Similarity Index (MS-SSIM) [3]
• Erreur Relative Globale Adimensionnelle de Synthèse (ERGAS) [4]
• Spatial Correlation Coefficient (SCC) [5]
• Relative Average Spectral Error (RASE) [6]
• Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) [7]
• Spectral Distortion Index (D_lambda) [8]
• Spatial Distortion Index (D_S) [8]
• Quality with No Reference (QNR) [8]
• Visual Information Fidelity (VIF) [9]
• Block Sensitive - Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR-B) [10]

Todo

• Add command-line support for No-reference metrics

Installation

Just as simple as

pip install sewar

Example usage

a simple example to use UQI

>>> from sewar.full_ref import uqi
>>> uqi(img1,img2)
0.9586952304831419

Example usage for command line interface

sewar [metric] [GT path] [P path] (any extra parameters)

An example to use SSIM

foo@bar:~$ sewar ssim images/ground_truth.tif images/deformed.tif -ws 13
ssim : 0.8947009811410856

Available metrics list

mse, rmse, psnr, rmse_sw, uqi, ssim, ergas, scc, rase, sam, msssim, vifp, psnrb
